Do you add milk to the machine to make cappucino or latte, or is a separate milk frother required?

The boxes you buy for cappuccino, latte, etc. Include 2 separate capsules for each cup you make, one is coffee the other is for the frothed milk. Instructions on the capsules explain how to use them. I love this machine!
12526
For Cappuccino and latte you need to use the milk which come with capsule Cofee no need to add additional or buy extra
12527
Also, keep in mind that the capsules come 16 to a box - this means that in the case of beverages which require both coffee and milk capsules (Cappuccino, Latte, etc), you're getting 8 cups per box (from 8 coffee capsule and 8 milk capsules), whereas with the regular coffee drinks (Americano, Intenso, etc.), you get 16 cups per box, since only one capsule is required to make the drink.

The capsules come as milk or coffee. Fir instance the cappuccino would be made from 2 capsules ie 1 milk and 1 coffee. Whereas the american houseblend is just 1 coffee capsule and you may want to add milk and sugar after depending on your preference. its teally easy to make though. i would definitely recommend it.

The coffees that require a milk come with a milk cartridge in addition to the coffee cartridge. You usually run the milk through first then the coffee.

For cappuccino's and latte's, one dolce gusto pod contains coffee & one pod contains dried milk. During the process, the milk gets frothed nicely. Do not add milk to the machine. I believe De'Longhi does have a machine to which you can add fresh milk.

All of the answers provided here are correct about dual capsules (one milk and one coffee) for the cappuccino or latte type drinks. The packages and capsules provide simple instructions and even recommended amount settings for your machine to make the ideal cup!

Yes it does. I suspect you'll get a better cappuccino if you use a frother.

You need to add the coffee after it brews. This machine does not combine steamed milk w coffee or espresso at the same time

I haven't tried it that way, though I usually shake my milk before pouring it into a mug to heat it, then I transfer the milk to the frother, fill my mug with coffe, and pour the warm frothed milk onto my coffee. I use a ratio of about 3:1, almond milk and flavored half&half; (usually coffeemate); It works fine for my expectations of a latte with froth on top. If you want a cappaccino, then I don't think this device is a good fit. I'm very happy with a bit of froth on top...very much like when you order a latte from a coffee shop. Hope that helps!

Neither model has INTEGRATED GRINDER OR MILK CONTAINER. Makes great espresso and froths milk nicely, but one has to load from separate grinder and fill container with mill to froth!

There are two frothed attachments: one has the round spring and the other is a little plastic piece. For lattes use the plastic piece and you can fill it to the max. For cappuccino 's use the spring but you need to keep it at the min level. Make sure lid is on good and rubber gasket is not defected. It ha happened to me on occasion . Trial and error but I love it. Hope this helps

It does make cappuccino, if you look at the picture it has a milk frother on the left. It's a little different as it pulls milk through a hose and froths it then deposits it in your cup instead of a normal steam wand. And yes, there is a slot for instant coffee on the top... One thing I would warm about this machine is that I have no idea how to find additional support or spare parts for it and I've looked... I've owned it for about 6 months now and haven't need support or spare parts, but I'm nervous when I inevitably will about where I'll find them.

Buy a milk frothing pitcher. I have the 200 ml one and it works wonderfully. Froths milk much better than my cappuccino machine.

Another option...I don't even use that bothersome setup. I just stick the steamer nozzle straight into my cup of milk, froth it and then stick the cup under the espresso spout and finish up. In the meantime, I take off the steamer nozzle and go rinse it and put it back on. It's just a lot faster and less of a hassle.

No, it's a separate item. I prefer it this way because Nespresso has about three different types of frothers. I like the Aerocino Plus because it has a handle. The others I've seen do not. I also figure if it breaks, it can be replaced more easily than one that is built into the platform of the machine.

If you're asking if there is a separate chamber for milk, there is not. There is a frothing wand on the side, with steam from the central chamber.

There is one chamber (boiler) for the water which is used for making both the coffee and the milk. There is a value though that directs water to the steam wand for frothing milk. This allows you to heat the machine once & then control the parts how you wish.

No, you have to brew your expresso first then froth your milk. If it was me I would keep looking for a better machine.

Upon close investigation, I found that the machine does come with the frother attachment and a long hose that can be placed into any cup of milk to make the froth (it does an AMAZING job on the froth). There is also an optional milk thermos that can be purchased, which would be nice to have but not necessary since the included attachment will take from any container.

Yes. The machine can froth the milk, but you will have to have some skills that take practice. Chill the metal pitcher first. Do not scald the milk, and use only low fat milk. Getting the milk stiff without scalding is the skill that takes practice. I make latte several times a week, but I don't fuss with the fancy cream decorations.

You can always heat milk up separately and add the coffee to it. So, it might be two-touches.....not a big deal. Either way, this machine makes AMAZINGLY good coffee.

You can press the "stop" button at any time to stop the frother, once you have enough froth. You can also program the machine withyour preferred amount of froth, in effect programming the cappuccino button to make macchiato.
